Unfortunately, the American justice system is just riddled with lies and inconsistencies.
I thought [when I was 16] my days were just going to be spent hanging out on a beach and my girlfriend was going to be Miss Teen USA and my best friend will be a dolphin.
It's terrible, the way obese children and adults are treated in this country [USA]. And I'm not leaving this Earth until that is changed.
This place [USA] is exploding with young people who are - they're like Nietzsche's hammer - going to break everything and make something better. The creative energy in this country, and what people are coming up with is very hopeful.
Canadians look down on the United States and consider it Hell. They are right to do so. Canada is to the United States what, in Dante's scheme, Limbo is to Hell

" If your father was a cobbler, and his father was a cobbler, and his father was a cobbler, you don't have to be a cobbler.
I'm always making Butcher Holler sound like the most backward part of the United States-and I think maybe it is.
He's confident. He knows what he's good at and he has people around him to help him. (on Freddy Adu)
America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.
It distresses me deeply that ideas are not to be circulated freely in the USA if certain persons have their way. One of the things that was great about this country was that I could say anything and that everyone else could say anything and we would compare all possible ideas and arrive at opinions.
If it turns out that President Barack Obama can make a deal with the most intransigent, hard-line, unreasonable, totalitarian mullahs in the world but not with Republicans? Maybe he's not the problem.
